How to do an Emotional Wellness Routine?

Doing an emotional wellness routine is not difficult to do. What makes it a challenge is finding time to do something for yourself. Also, controlling your emotions takes time and patience. Finding the right activities for certain emotions will take effort. You might want to take personal notes to see what works for you. 

Expressing your emotions might not be easy to do. If you have experienced a traumatic experience, you might want to express your emotions through art or writing. However, if you experienced too much negativity, you might want to play a fun game. Before you begin an activity, consider the type of emotion you are feeling. If you are feeling anger, you might want to write it and rip the paper.

Once you know what emotion occurs the most during stress, you can write a schedule for your wellness routine. Every few days, you can change your wellness schedule to prevent boredom. After that you can reflect on your day and give thanks. You can start your wellness schedule by making a routine for the morning, the afternoon, the evening, and before going to sleep. Here is a sample schedule to help you make your wellness routine.

 

1. In the morning do stretches.
2. Do mindfulness when you brush your teeth.
3. Read or write positive affirmations to have a good day at work.
4. Do mindfulness during your lunch work break.
5. Write a gratitude list or three things you are thankful for in your journal.
6. Exercise, watch television, or listen to music when you get home.
7. Work on your favorite hobbies before making your dinner.
8. Practice mindfulness during your dinner.
9. Organize, clean, or work on a small area on your home to declutter.
10. Write in your journal before going to sleep.
11. Take a walk to help you relax.
12. Watch comedy shows on television and not the news.
13. Get enough sleep before going back to work.

Practice self-care in your emotional wellness routine. Join a support group, download a wellness app, or talk to someone you can trust about your emotions. Eliminate or lessen your caffeine and sugar intake. Do add healthier meals, exercise, or learn new skills to help you relax. Here are links about emotional wellness.
